States Senator Patterson, of South Car
DINA, in which the United States court
had held that he was not
A FUGITIVE FROM JUSTICE,
but had been called to Washington on
business. The Judge postponed the
ease until Ga. M. Monday until the
Patterson case could be set before him
iii black and white.
Gov. McGill has Signified his desire to
hear Fayette Marsh OH his application
for the revocation of the eXtradition
order, so that should Judge Wilkin dis
charge the writ the case is still
further testimony. Mr.. Marsh will try
to show to the governor the motives that
prompt the attempt to remove Harriet
Burner from the state and the circum-
stances of her relation as witness to the
Reed-Stordock investigation. Should
the governor decline to revoke his eX-
traditing order, Harriet Burner will
probably be taken to Saltwater, at any
rate, on the habeaS corpus ad tes-
tifcandum of Judge Mcclure, to enable
her to testify to the facts alleged in re-
latiOn to the state prison conspiracy.
MORE INVESTIGA ALTON WANTED.
In view of the developments of the
case Warden Stordock, by his counsel,
j. n. Searles, and the matron, Mrs.
Sarah E. McNeal, have appealed to the
scope of inquiry of the board
of correction and charities so
as to include the statements
of Mr.. Marsh that Stordock and Smith
were interested in getting Mrs. Burner
out of the state. He asks for Il hearing
at the Monday meeting of the board.
He says that Reeds counsel has init
mated no desire yet to produce the teSti-
mony of Mrs. Burner and Mrs. Rapp.
although eX-parte statements have been
furnished to Reed. The best part of the
communication is in the following:
| notice iii this mornings issue of one of
the leading papers of the state that one of
the women who was 10 have been examined
has been before one of the judges of the dis
trict court of Ramsey in requisition proceed
ings, alleged to have been Instituted by the
authorities of the state of Kansas, and that
on that hearing ex-Warden Reeds
counsel. Fayette Marsh, Esq, of saltwater. in
terpoSed ard objected TO the woman. Mrs.
Burner, being delivered 10 the authorities of
the state of Kansas. on the ground that he
desired to retain her presence here as a wit
ness in the proceeding now pending against
ex-Warden Reed before the board of cor
rections and charities. And he further
stated, according to said publication, that
he desired to prove and has wit
sition proceeding. that said proceedings to
remove said Mrs. Burner from this state TO
the state of Kansas are not authorized by the
public authorities of the state of Kansas, but
are set on foot and prosecuted at the inStiga
ton of myself and some person by the name
OF Smith, for the purpose OF preventing said
Mrs. Burner being used as witness on the
part of eXWardtn Reed, on the investiga-
ton now being conducted by the board of
corrections and charities.
This charge. thus publicly made and dis
seminated through the public press. fur
nishes me no adequate opportunity to meet
II, and, in my Judgment, is made solely for
the purpose of cultivating public sentiment
that shall have a reflex influence in determin-
ing the result of the pending investigation.
therefore request that you will authorize
the board of corrections and charities of the
state of Minnesota to extend the scope of
their inquiry, so that they may fully and eff
fectualfy inquire into and report upon the
truth or falsity of the charge made by eX-
Warden Reed, or his attorney. charging my
self or the matron. Mrs. McNeal, with
consplring together, or with any other
person, to falsely accuse eX-Warden
Reed of any offense or misconduct
whatever: and likewise into the truth or
talslty of the charge which accuses we with
1nsututlng. setting on foot or in any way
being party to any scheme for procuring
the removal from this state of Mrs Burner.
or otherwise: and, furthermore to inquire
fully and at large into any complaint that has
been or may be made against me or the
matron, Mrs. McNeal, or any other subordi-
nate employe connected with the manage
ment of the state prison at Saltwater.
